Tips Before Taking the PSAT• Don’t study the last day, give yourself
time over several days to review for the PSAT.
• You know your strengths and weaknesses, study the things you think you need improvement on.
• The day before the PSAT make sure you get a good night sleep, prepare your materials for the next day, and eat a good breakfast to give your full potential.

When Taking The PSAT
• Do the easiest problems first and leave the hard ones for the end (don’t forget them).
• In a multiple choice always read all the different possible answers.
• Eliminate all the choices that seem incorrect and choose the best answer
• Be aware always for “all of the above” which is why you should read all your different choices.
